Fig. 1. — Survival in PAH/CTEPH patients with AF/AFL compared with those without those atrial arrhythmias. By analysis of Kaplan–Meier curves, mortality after diagnosis of either atrial fibrillation or flutter was significantly elevated (17% at 90 days; 41% at 1 year), as compared with those without (7% at 90 days; 17% at 1 year). When evaluated as time-varying exposure, diagnosis of AF or AFL was associated with significantly increased mortality in PAH/CTEPH patients (unadjusted HR = 3.81, 95% CI 2.64–5.52, p < 0.001).
